Words In The World

In the exhibition ‘Words In The World’, my first solo show in South America, I further developed my previous work in relation to language and translation as well as instigating new research into the anthropomorphic in relation to characterization, articulation, the human and the natural.

The work ‘Words In The World’ expanded on my previous research into visual patterns created by the repetition of words, their lengths and their shapes. The work uses literal translations of its own title into various languages repeating to make a larger pattern of words which expand from the centre point to become a visible finite shape.

The work ‘Epidemic’ consists of collected examples of pareidolia – faces found in everyday objects and landscapes - questioning how we see, and how ways of seeing can be forms of entrapment.

‘Good Haircut Bad Haircut’ looked further into ways of seeing, looking at using a single line as the only form of characterization, and how the use of specific materials and objects can affect the significance that is given to the experience of an artwork. Work from this exhibition has been presented at talks in Sweden and the UK. Works were acquired by Banco Itaú S.A. Collection, Brazil and Tate, London. Works from the show will be included in the forthcoming exhibition ‘Love of Technology’ at MoCA, North Miami, USA (Sept-Nov 2013) a group exhibition of artists from around the world who question the relationship between humans and technology.
